Orders are shipped via UPS, and will be delivered according to the UPS transit time guarantee for the level of service selected. Within the continental United States you can generally expect to receive your purchase within five business days or fewer of the order being shipped. Transit times for UPS Ground, the most economical level of service, can be viewed on this map.

Please provide a valid street address as UPS does not deliver to PO boxes. Orders that are not accompanied by a valid street address will be subject to an additional delay until an appropriate address is obtained.
